A convention for metrics (short) name
by Joel Takvorian
Hi,
What would you say about having a convention of a special tag (let's say
"_name") that would point to a (short) intelligible name for a metric. That
convention wouldn't be mandatory in any case of course, but the UI could
check if that tag exists and use that name, instead of the full metric id,
for better display.
WDYT?

Response from Sonatype:
One of our sync jobs was hung and never recovered. We terminated the job and
restarted, and I'm already seeing various 0.9.7 artifacts on Central. We're
updating our jobs to ensure that they're not hung indefinitely.

This is an example of an Entity hierarchy, it shows what kind of entities
we can create, as well as other patterns that we can use. The farther the
key is from Entity, the more specialized it is, which means that the
.applicable? method on those are a lot more picky on what kind of data it
matches to. Views follow the same hierarchy and the engine matches the same
way, and the first defined view is used, so let's say:
If we have a WildflyDomainControllerServer to render, first it will try to
find WildFlyDomainControllerServerView, then WildFlyDomainServerView, then
WildFlyServerView, then WildFlyServerBaseView, then ServerView. That means
that adding new entities are not going to break the views being used.
Also, WildFlyServerBase is an abstract entity, in the sense that it only
provides implementation, and is not to be matched. This can be achieved by
setting .applicable? to return false. Entities are just normal ruby
objects, there is nothing special about them, they just need to answer to
the .applicable? method and receive 1 argument in its initializer.

Entities define the "canonical truth" of the responses from the server, and
views define how to represent them as JSON. They don't tackle how we're
going to present data, and not how to fetch them.
To persist data on MiQ: this PoC does not take any action on persisting
stuff, it only cares about representation. To do that, we just need a new
JSON field on every middleware table, to save the response from the server,
and then we can use it. Something like this:
entity = Entity.constantize(MiddlewareServer.first.data)
render json: View.for(entity)
